Title
English-Language Vocational and Technical Training in Québec
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the role of vocational and technical training in meeting urgent labour market needs, as well as the broader economic and social benefits it provides to individuals and societies. Vocational and technical training (VTT), which aims to equip students with hands-on skills for direct entry into the labour market, is offered at the secondary and college level in Québec. The majority of Québec’s VTT programs are offered in French and primarily serve the French-speaking majority in Québec, who represent 85.3% of the province’s population. There is a smaller ecosystem of English-language VTT programs, which are offered primarily to Québec’s English speakers, who account for 13.8% of the population.
